War has always been the natural enemy of salted fish.

Song Lan's heart suddenly became alarmed, and Lu Xiang immediately brought him even worse news.

According to the rules of the coalition government, in wartime, men over the age of 18 have the obligation to perform compulsory military service, although the conscription bureau adopted a voluntary registration process, but once the situation of the war on the front line changes, for example, the war weapons developed by the third neutral country gain an advantage and threaten the territorial security of the coalition government, a "hot-blooded youth" of Song Lan's age will be forcibly sent to the front.

An exoskeleton armor, an electromagnetic rifle, this is their way home.

Of course, with Song Lan's marksmanship, Lu Xiang sincerely felt that it might be much better to send him a wooden stick than an electromagnetic rifle.

At least it's hard for sticks to accidentally injure teammates on a chaotic battlefield.

"Then again, with your current level of shooting, you should be able to off the instructors of the training camp before you are officially sent to the front."

Although this sounds like a joke, Lu Xiang is serious.

Ever since the last time the Devourer had fought alongside Song Lan, it had strongly demanded that Song Lan be forbidden to equip Song Lan with weapons that had ranged damage.

"The training camp in District 17 is on the outskirts of the Eastern District, and the Enlistment Bureau has temporarily used an abandoned factory as a base for recruitment and training, and it is said that thousands of people have already been conscripted."

What awaits them at the training camp will be a week-long crash course for frontline soldiers.

Since it was a crash course, these soldiers could only be taught the use of exoskeleton armor and Coalition government weapons at a minimum, and those people had no idea what a terrible enemy would await them in the Third Neutral Nation, and they would not have thought that the Coalition government did not expect them to return alive from the front.

This is also the reason why the coalition government chose to recruit troops in the border cities and issued this speech.

Most of those who were conscripted were gang members, in order to allow a group of scum to contribute to the coalition government at the last moment of their lives.

The role played by the advance troops on the battlefield is tantamount to exchanging their bodies for intelligence.

The coalition government's invincible intelligence warfare was ineffective this time, the expatriate department was unable to set up a foothold in the territory of the Third Neutral Nation, and even the top battlefield intelligence agents did not understand why they were exposed to the monsters as soon as they approached the war zone.

Lu Xiang knew very well that this was the devourer consciousness at work.

All members of the group share a common brain, which allows them to communicate information and strategic deployment with zero attrition, in a sense, the army created by the Devourer is what the coalition government considers to be the final form of the army.

Eliminate all negative emotions of the individual and completely obey the dispatch of the collective.

And these recruits who don't know the inside story are still immersed in the beautiful imagination of Triumph, in their opinion, what is so terrible about a group of bugs that look like mutated creatures?

"Of course, if you don't want to do military service, I can think of some way, and we can issue a certificate of diagnosis here."

Lu Xiang really knew Song Lan too well, from the moment he entered the office, his facial features were almost twisted together, and he completely wrote resistance on his face, and it was really a little embarrassing for him to let Song Lan go to the battlefield with the big army.

The real battlefield is different from a one-on-one duel, when they are likely to face a mountain of enemies, and at that time the allies will become a drag, according to her observations, Song Lan is not only extremely poor marksmanship, but his extremely lethal abilities are incidental friendly injuries.

This once again proves that it is a dangerous thing to become friends and comrades-in-arms with Song Lan.

"But Fr. Bruno strongly recommends that we go to the Third Neutral Kingdom to find out, he thinks that the Eclipse Cult's sudden war against the outside world is very unusual, and that he had never seen those mutated creatures in the church before he left, and he suspects that it may have something to do with the 'mines'...... Can your expression be normal? ”

Lu Xiang had to take a deep breath.

For some reason, Song Lan always has the magic that makes her want to laugh out loud when she is serious about serious things.

She coughed lightly and continued, "The Devourer has also sent a message that it always feels as if something is calling it from within the territory of the Third Neutral. ”

Medell once mentioned that Yungang Biopharmaceutical's research on the phagocytosis project was born from the "outside world", which is one of the company's most important genetic projects, and several important components of the phagocytosis gene are related to radiation organisms in the territory of the third neutral country.

In fact, she can't say that the project was ultimately a success.

They have indeed created a genetic creation that surpasses any known living organism, and its ability to evolve autonomously is so powerful that even the researchers on this project are terrified that it is not only living beings that can be assimilated by the Devourer, but also machines, artificial intelligence, and non-living beings.

When it is fully evolved, it is immune to most of the current weapons, and in a very short period of time, it has spawned a mutant that specializes in restraining this type of weapon, and Meddell suspects that the mutant creature with the ability to stealth and cut in the video is the force that the Third Neutral Devourer "bred" for the local environment.

"Maydell conservatively estimates that there is a 0% chance that the coalition government's advance force will survive in the Third Neutral Country, unless ......"

"Unless?"

"Unless we're involved."

After learning about the "upper world" theory proposed by the president of the Wisteria Academy, a long-standing question seems to have been answered invisibly.

As the head of the Devourer project, and its titular creator, Medell has always had a huge question in her mind.

Why are Devourers afraid of Song Lan?

This fear is written in its original genetic sequence, as if no matter how it evolves, it cannot escape the instinct written into its genes.

Lu Xiang had also been secretly observing the way Song Lan and the Devourer got along.

At least on the surface, they get along very well, thanks to the fact that Song Lan has never been a person who likes to speak ill of people, even to the Devourer, and the two sides will even sometimes sit in the common room of the garbage dump and seriously discuss the direction of the evolution of the swarm.

This couldn't help but make Lu Xiang feel that in addition to the instinctive fear, the Devourer seemed to regard Song Lan as a teacher, and when its ability grew, the first thing it did was to want to observe Song Lan's life more deeply.

Combined with the identity of the "upper creature", the devourer's awe-inspiring attitude seems to make sense.

Perhaps it was the first creature to discover Song Lan's differences.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiang said step by step, "Of course, even if we get involved, we won't follow the frontal troops, we can go to the logistics supply team, or the medical team." ”
